The Consortium's Heir Chapter 950
The second bodyguard parted his lips and choked up as he said, "I've done many bad things in my life, and choosing to oppose you was the worst decision I've made. It's led to my death—not that it has anything to do with you, of course. It was all my own doing. I hope everyone will learn a lesson from this—keep your calm and rationality when making decisions like this, and you'll be able to stay alive for a few more years. I've lost that privilege because I've used up the chances Darius gave me." He turned to look at Darius, even if it was the last thing he wanted to do. He pleaded, "I hope you'll make it quick. I'm terrified of dying; in fact, I'm terrified of most things." He shut his eyes and waited for Darius to make his move. Then, he felt something cold against his neck. That was the last thing he knew. Before taking his final breath, the thought that flitted through his mind was that at least Darius had been merciful and made it quick.In truth, everyone's eyes were on Gareth.

Gareth gave Darius a cautious look. "If I were to tell you that I've tried and failed to think of something that I could use to broker a deal with you, would you be able to give me any suggestions?"Darius raised an eyebrow and smirked. "This is a surprise. Unfortunately, it's not something I'm interested in. Besides, I think your comrade's probably getting lonely waiting for you in hell. After all, you ended his life, yet you're still living and breathing. To think you two had the same goal in mind …" His tone was light and cheery.Gareth whipped his head up and gaped at Darius as he said tremulously, "You don't intend on letting me off the hook—you want me to die. How is that gonna benefit you? What will my death bring you?"Darius looked scornful. "You had nefarious intentions from the moment you approached me, yet you're asking me why I'm treating you like this. Don't you find that ridiculous?" He cocked his head and put his hands behind his back.Gareth's expression turned contem

"Well, I suppose this is where the fun and games end. Now, I'm going to treat you like I would an enemy." Darius' expression turned contemptuous as he sat down again, crossing one leg over the other, looking arrogant.Gareth took a deep breath as his blood boiled. He stalked toward Darius and growled, "If that's what you think, I'll show you how important a bodyguard is!"Edward frowned at this and stepped forward to shield Darius with his body. He put his hands behind his back as he scowled and snarled, "I may not have heard you mention the name of your master, but your comrade was forthcoming enough to tell us. If you're gonna try to harm Mr. Reid because your master told you to, I'll have you know that I don't have the best temper. I can't guarantee that you'll get off easy if you go ahead with this, and I can't guarantee that I won't take this out on your master later. When that happens, you won't be a satisfactory bodyguard—no one will be able to vouch for your loyalty toward you

"That means they'll be free to search for employment elsewhere. No one in the Reid family will ever have anything else to do with them." Darius put his hands behind his back and left without another look back.Once Darius was out of sight, Edward heard the bodyguards let out audible sighs. In an instant, it was all that could be heard inside and outside the room. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at them with a raised eyebrow. His expression was mocking as he said, "I believe I've already made myself clear to you, yet you've disappointed me with your reactions. If that's the case, I don't think there's any need to stand on ceremony anymore. Let me reiterate that things aren't gonna be pretty if I find that you've lied in any way, so think twice before you answer. If it turns out that you've lied in any way, I'll have to apologize in advance for my actions. I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you what I have in store for you—you can probably imagine it yourse

He leaned against the desk, crossed one leg over the other, and looked at Edward. Edward shut the door behind him as he entered; he had a stack of papers in one hand. He looked calm, but Darius knew him better than that. Underneath that calm exterior was an agitated heart. Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. "You don't seem to be doing too well, which is weird. I've known you for a while now, but this is my first time seeing you like this."Edward smiled bitterly and nodded. "You got me there, sir. The answers those bodyguards gave are almost identical; it's as if they'd already discussed this beforehand. One thing to note is that they've all mentioned Robert Reid's name. My guess is that he may have spoken to them one-on-one, but none of them have ever caught him with someone else."His gaze was resolute as he looked Darius in the eye. "That's why I think Robert must be in cahoots with them. At the very least, he must've agreed to work for a few of these guys."Darius put h

He could already guess why Edward was here, and it was likely Edward hadn't gotten any rest. Otherwise, he wouldn't be pacing outside and waiting for him to wake up. Darius lifted the sheets and got out of bed but didn't open the door for Edward. Instead, he went to the bathroom and washed up before drawing a bath and getting in. Then, he said, "Edward, you can come in now."Edward sighed in relief when he heard Darius finally call his name. He pushed the door open and entered the room, immediately sensing Darius was in the bathroom. This surprised him because Darius had never summoned him while taking a bath. So, he swept a gaze around the room to make sure Darius wasn't hiding somewhere, then headed toward the bathroom. He stopped at the door and said respectfully, "Sir, I've already looked into everything." He fell silent here.Darius said, "Judging from how you're acting right now, it seems that the results aren't satisfactory." He sighed and said, "If that's the case, it's best

"However, you've really let me down." Edward shook his head, looking upset. "After hearing your conversation earlier, I can't help thinking that I'd be making a huge mistake by letting any of you leave this place alive!" The bodyguards were stunned. They gaped at Edward in disbelief, not knowing how to react to this turn of events.Edward merely shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Now, now. I was just joking. There are cars waiting for you outside, so you can go ahead and leave. As Mr. Reid said earlier, wait for us to call you. If you're the right fit for the job, we'll let you know so you can come back here and take up your post. Of course, if any of you try to pull anything funny, you can wait for death to come knocking on your door. As for the remainder that is neither good nor bad, it's unfortunate that you won't be able to continue staying here to protect Mr. Reid's safety. I could arrange for you to be hired as security guards elsewhere, but you may feel insulted by this despite t

"That's a good sign that you've matured. I'd be happy if you could keep thinking like that," Teivel said.Darius smiled, not expecting him to praise him like that. For a split second, his eyes turned red because he was so moved, but it quickly faded. He said, "Well, let's not bother about that anymore." He breathed deeply to calm himself, then continued, "After your battle with your old nemesis, your soul's power has diminished a lot. It won't be able to sustain you for long, so you have to merge with your body as soon as possible."Teivel took note of his grim tone and smiled faintly. "That's not something you need to worry about. I know how long I can keep going like this."Darius shut his eyes and sighed, lapsing into silence. He focused his attention on his life force and started channeling it to the places he wanted it to go. When it started flowing, his brows unfurrowed, and he smiled faintly.In the book realm, Teivel sat on the couch and crossed one leg over the other, a smil

"If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

"Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu

When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

"We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

"And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1153
Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
